Record Saturday Attendance for Starting Handle Club Summer Show
The Starting Handle Club, celebrating its 40th anniversary, had mixed weather for their Annual Summer
Show. A fine day on Saturday saw a record attendance of over a thousand people but this was
dampened a little on the Sunday when the forecast rain arrived, driving the City of Norwich Pipe Band
into a barn to complete a well received performance. There were a record number of exhibitors and
trade stands this year and over 300 people attended a sell-out Hog Roast on the Saturday night and
were entertained by Farmer Dan and his Showband.
Because of the poor weather on Sunday receipts from the show are likely to be down on previous
years. The committee is meeting in September to decide on the charities they will support this year and
they would like to thank all those who helped or contributed in any way to another successful show, in
particular Stuart Taylor for his support and the use of his land.
The committee would also like to apologise to everyone who attended the show with children for the
no-show of the children’s play attractions.

As a member of Aylsham Royal British Legion Women’s Section ,
I was delighted to take part in an impromptu ceremony at
Marsham village war memorial to commemorate 100 years
since the start of WWI. With the help of the Rev. Fergus and a
few parishioners a small service was held with each of us taking
it in turns to read a name from the memorial as we lit a candle
for each of the 17 men.
It was all very informal but at the same time very personal to
each of us because we all took part.
Yours sincerely,
Doreen Larkman
Letters to the Editor
The letters in this section are published unedited and do not necessarily reflect the views of the
editing committee. We see the Village Newsletter as a channel for people in the village to air their
views – positive and negative.
Although the following is probably old news now, we are including the following letter, received
by the Parish Council from the Senior Environment Officer regarding the Compost Facility, sothat everyone knows the current situation -Following the enforcement notice requiring improvement works to be completed by 31 May, I can
confirm that the operator failed to comply with all the steps in the notice. We assessed the works and
the subsequent level of odour from the site and concluded that odours were still at unacceptable levels.
The operator offered a potential solution by ceasing to accept food waste at the site. We accepted this
proposal and have additionally served an enforcement notice to require the operator to remove all food
waste currently in the system (i.e. the waste that is currently going through the composting process) by
24 July 2014. This is no small step, it will take around 3-4 weeks at additional cost to the operator.
However, considering the distress the site is causing to the local community, we do believe that this is
proportionate.
As part of the enforcement notice we have also required the operator to carry out a deep clean of the
site and equipment to ensure no odour is caused from residual food waste. The operator has decided to
enter a 12 week shut down of the operations on the site in order to carry out the deep clean and to
continue to make improvements to the site’s systems, during this period they will not be processing
any waste on site. They will be accepting green waste to bulk up on the site for less than 48 hours to
allow it to be diverted to other waste facilities.
We hope that when the food waste is removed from the process there will be a dramatic reduction in
odour nuisance. Should the odour pollution continue at unacceptable levels though, we will consider
taking further action. This could involve suspending the site’s permit meaning they would have to stop
accepting waste altogether.

Future of the NewsletterOur October edition will be the final one funded
by Norse. I am sure that you will all agree that
this support has enabled us to produce a
publication of much better quality than our earlyeditions which were printed on the school’s
photocopier. We are very grateful to the school
for this early support in getting the Newsletter off
the ground.
Our challenge now is to produce as good a quality
Newsletter as possible at a cost that is both
affordable and sustainable. The current cost is
about £250 per issue (£2500 per year). This is way
beyond our purse! We could, by reducing both
the quality of paper and the number of coloured
pages reduce this cost to £98 per issue (£980 peryear). We have £1250 in our bank account.
Advertising brings in around £400 per year.
There is, long term, a shortfall. We are reluctant
to go for more advertising as it would spoil the
balance of the newsletter. How could we raise up
to £500 per year? Donations? Charge for the
newsletter? Fund raise? Charge more for
advertising? Sponsorship?
We would very much like to hear people’s
opinions on what they feel would be the best way
forward.
Contact Adrian as soon as possible by phone
(734488), e mail (see box to left), letter (12 Old
Norwich Road) or face to face to let us know.

Marsham
WI
At our June meeting we had a visit from Hazel Jones from Aylsham WI, who was our representative atthe National AGM in Leeds, and who gave us a full and interesting report of the proceedings on the day.
Guest Speakers were Sir Andrew Motion the former Poet Laureate, Dr George McGavin Entomologist
& Author and Bill Turnbull, TV Presenter.
Correspondence this month included invitations to a Norfolk Federation meeting in Northrepps, an Open
Day at Federation Office in Norwich and a Bee Action Plan, a quiz night, 10 pin bowling and a visit to
Denman College. So plenty to occupy Members over the next few months if they so wish.
Our speaker for June was Mr Hedge with a slide presentation. He had been collecting photographs of
local life for 50 years and these included pictures of children and family life back in the late 1800s tomid 1900s, also life on the farm and early forms of transport. An interesting insight to times past.
The July meeting took the form of a finger buffet supper for our members and their partners and was
held in the garden of one of our Members on a beautiful summer evening, we could not have asked for
better.
WI membership starts in January but if you are a woman interested in joining us why not come and give
us a try now? New or returning members are very welcome to come along, transport need not be a
problem as we could arrange for you to be picked up if you need to be. Our September meeting is on 24th
in the Village Hall when our speaker will be Max Marriner from the Association for the Blind. Call me
on 01263 732606 or email at [email protected].

neighbours sharing gardening equipment, IT advice and dentist recommendations, organising craft groups,
street parties and book clubs.

Marsham Community Public
Access Defibrillator Project
Thank you to all The Marsham Belles who
raised £134 at their recent afternoon tea at
the village hall. Scrumptious scones and
cakes were enjoyed by all whilst listening
to the delightful bell ringing. Thanks also
go to Mr George and an anonymous donor
for their generous donations since the last
update. Our total now stands at £1377. We
have also received an exciting call to say
that we will be receiving a donation of£300 from the Interconnector Social and
Availability committee at the Bacton Gas
Terminal who raise money for lots of good
causes around Norfolk. Thank you to
everyone there. A Marsham resident kindly
nominated us but unfortunately we do not
have his name. If you would be willing to
let us know who you are we would love to
be able to thank you personally as well.
Our next fundraising event will be at the
Village Hall table top sale in October when
we will be having a chocolate tombola and
a book table. If you would like to make any
donations to our tables please bring them
along on the day or pass them to any of
the project group. Our current target is
£2500 to cover purchase of a defibrillator
and a special outside heated cabinet as
well as installation. There will also be
additional costs for training and
information sessions. We also need to
ensure that we have funds available for
replacement pads and for the future
replacement of batteries. If you can help
with fundraising or would like to make a
donation please contact Nicola Hibberd on
01263 733557 or email
[email protected]. Thank you
Note that this
figure does not
include the
£300 donation.
